Im Jahr 79 wurden bei einem Ausbruch des Vulkans Vesuv die Orte Pompeji und Herculaneum mit Lava überflutet. Auch danach kam der spektakuläre Berg nie zur Ruhe.

The Phoenix is one of the most well-known mythical creatures in the world, and holds a special place in many hearts due to its symbolism of resurrection. Dying in flame and rising from the ashes, the Phoenix is likely the world's most iconic symbol of rebirth. But many tellings miss what may be the most important part of the Phoenix myth; the dignity and honor with which it treats its past self.We follow the Phoenix from its most ancient origins in Egypt as the Bennu, the radiantly rising bird sacred to the sun god, into Greek mythology through the works of Herodotus, and into the world through diverse works including the oldest Jewish play, Coptic Christian texts, and even the works of William Shakespeare.In the millennia since its origins, the Phoenix is an enduring symbol of rebirth and resurrection, inspiring leaders in rejuvenating society, artists in reinventing culture, and all those who go through the journey of renewal, rising from the ashes of the old self.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:31 Phoenix, from the Aberdeen Bestiary00:54 Ancient Origins00:59 Marble Bust of Herodotus, Rome, Second Century01:14 Obelisk of Sesostris, Heliopolis01:24 Herodotus, Histories, Book II02:08 Pajuheru Papyrus, Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, photographed by Djehouty, licensed under Creative Commons03:00 Cultural Rebirth03:13 Chiron Teaching Achilles to Play the Lyre, Roman Fresco from Herculaneum, First Century03:41 Phoenix, from the Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel03:48 The Burning of Troy by Dirck Verhaert03:56 Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book XV04:29 Aeneas Saving Anchises from Burning Troy by Adam Elsheimer04:47 Queen Elizabeth I by Nicholas Hilliard05:03 20 Lepta Coin, Greece, First Hellenic Republic, photographed by Classical Numismatic Group, licensed under Creative Commons05:34 Fable of the Phoenix by Aegidius Sadeler II05:45 Phoenix Stained Glass, Saint Peter's Church, Purgstall, Austria, photographed by BSonne, licensed under Creative Commons06:22 The Reborn Soul06:33 Roman Portrait of Lactantius or Apuleius, from the Bishop's Museum, Trier06:57 Phoenix by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder07:04 The Phoenix by Cornelis Troost07:13 Lactantius, The Phoenix07:49 Phoenix, from the Aberdeen Bestiary08:01 Panel with Phoenixes and Flowers, China, Fourteenth Century08:09 Phoenix by Henry Justice Ford08:20 Conclusion: The Human Phoenix10:34 OutroAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

What would happen if Vesuvius Volcano erupted today? It's erupted many times in the past. In fact, that's how it got its shape. It's made of multiple layers of hardened lava, pumice, and ash. Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. But a major blast happened there nearly 2,000 years ago. It buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum and decimated the surrounding areas. The tragic eruption have left a deep mark in modern history. Mount Vesuvius is regarded as one of the deadliest volcanos in the human history. But today, 3 million people live less than 20 milesfrom the volcano, and 600,000 live in the danger zone. Large eruptions happen every few thousand years, usually after long periods of calm. And the trouble is, Vesuvius is long overdue for its next one... #brightside Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A @Christadelphians Video: *Ai Summary* [Inspiring] This thought-provoking and insightful exposition reveals why so many Bible translations exist, focusing on “challenging words” – rare terms that puzzled scholars for centuries. We explore how discoveries like the Rosetta Stone, Ugaritic, and the Oxyrhynchus Papyri have revolutionised our understanding of Hebrew and Greek. This wonderful, revealing journey shows that translation is a continuous process, not a one-off event. We learn to approach Scripture with humility, using multiple translations to benefit from each one's strengths. Outstanding content for anyone serious about God's Word. *Chapters* 00:00 – Introduction: why challenging words matter 00:42 – Hapax legomena and the need for constant revision 01:52 – Changes & discoveries: learning from ancient languages 02:25 – Akkadian: the language of Abraham and Nimrod's kingdom 05:01 – Rosetta Stone: unlocking hieroglyphics 07:16 – Ugaritic: the closest literary cousin to Hebrew 09:35 – New Testament Greek: from “Holy Spirit language” to everyday Koine 10:32 – Herculaneum papyri and the search for ordinary letters 12:02 – Oxyrhynchus Papyri: a treasure trove of receipts, letters, and everyday Greek 14:44 – Timeline: how translations (KJV, RV, RSV, NIV, ESV, NASB) relate to discoveries 16:00 – Example 1: “nuts and almonds” becomes “pistachio nuts” (Genesis 43:11) 21:04 – Example 2: “Tartan” – from a name to the title “field marshal” (2 Kings 18:17) 23:39 – Why Strong's is outdated, and modern lexicons (BDB, HALOT, BDAG) 25:56 – Conclusion: humility, using multiple translations, and always learning *Bible Verse Category*

Dave Weekley, Coop, Ryan Nicholson, and Matt work through four Buy/Sell topics. Ryan opens with a curated selection of actual graffiti from ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum, asking whether graffiti is a fundamental part of the human condition worth celebrating. Coop brings the Prego Connection Keeper, a $20 offline dinner table recording device made in partnership with StoryCorps that captures family conversations with no cloud connection or AI. Matt puts the NFL Draft's staggering spectator costs under the microscope — hotels topping $2,000 a night, Airbnbs running $24,000 for five days — and asks whether it qualifies as the most expensive spectacle built around athletes who may never pan out. Dave closes with a report on a humanoid robot shattering the half marathon record in Beijing and Sony's table tennis robot Ace, asking whether robot athletic achievements are becoming genuinely alarming.

Pompeii's story is usually told through the lens of catastrophe—perfectly preserved bodies frozen in ash, a civilization erased in hours, sort of like a Roman version of the Chicxulub impactor that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago —but the real tragedy isn't just that Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Worse is that we've forgotten the thousands of ordinary people who lived full, ambitious lives before that final day. These stories include a slave named Petrinus hoped to buy his freedom with earnings from side work, fish sauce merchant Aulus Umbricius Scaurus (who shipped garum bottles as far as Gaul while planning his next business expansion), and wealthy entrepreneur Julia Felix prepared her rental apartments to host the mysterious Cult of Isis. The mortality rate was only 9-11 percent because residents had eighteen hours to evacuate before superheated ash clouds arrived—this wasn't the extinction of the dinosaurs, yet we've reduced these vibrant lives to silent ruins and plaster casts. Today's guest is Jess Venner, author of The Lost Voices of Pompeii: A Gripping History of Seven Lives on the Last Day in Pompeii. We discuss how she reconstructed the life of slave Petrinus from a single loan contract listing him as collateral between two women, the condiment tycoon Scaurus sold his famous fermented fish sauce throughout the Roman Empire, and how politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa's campaign advertisements still cover the city walls two millennia later. We also see why nearly 20% of Pompeii remains unexcavated and how new X-ray phase-contrast tomography is finally allowing researchers to virtually unroll carbonized Herculaneum papyri, potentially recovering lost Epicurean philosophy once thought destroyed forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, one of our lovely Patreons requested that we talk about archaic Roman religion. Religion is Dr G's favourite topic, so we decided it was well and truly time for us to chat about what the Romans were up to in their early days. As with all aspects of the archaic period, it can be difficult to find reliable and detailed source material for certain aspects of religious life. However, the gods were hugely important to the Romans, so there are a variety of sources that we can use to piece together an accurate picture. This includes: · shrines, temples and tombs· inscriptions· votive offerings · the religious calendar · artwork, such as frescoes and sculptures· coinage· the priestly colleges· details of rituals · Records, including from groups like the Arval Brethren, a group of 12 priests who worshipped Dea Dia, an agricultural goddess · Roman law · Extra special sources like the Iguvine Tablets from the mid to late Republic, which were written in Umbrian · as well as literary sources Where did religion sit in ancient Rome? We discuss the nature and role of Roman religion in society, whilst trying to mythbust the belief that the Romans just stole everything from the Greeks.Archaic Roman religion is fascinating, with deities like Quirinus and Robigo (goddess of grain mildew) seeming to date back a long way. As Rome progressed, the state cults became more formalised and ritualised, and new gods were incorporated. You may recall that when the Romans conquered Veii in 396 BCE, they went to great lengths to coax the resident goddess, Juno Regina, to their city. Roman expansion allowed them to come into contact with a greater variety of deities. There were several important priestly positions in Rome that we refer to in this episode, so here's your cheat sheet: · Rex sacrorum/ Rex sacrificulus – The rex sacrorum was a patrician and seems to have assumed the priestly duties of the kings in the Republic. · Flamen Dialis (Jupiter)· Flamen Martialis (Mars)· Flamens Quirinalis (Quirinus – eventually associated with Romulus)· Pontifex Maximus (chief pontiff or priest) · And then there were minor flamens, who served gods such as Vulcan, Ceres and Flora · And, of course, we also talk about the Vestals! Dr G would never leave these ladies out Getting Personal On a more personal level, the Romans were also surrounded by the lares, guardian spirits who were seemingly connected to place, such as the hearth, streets, neighbourhoods and boundaries. If you have been to Pompeii or Herculaneum, you may have seen a lararium, or one of the shrines that people could have in their houses for these deities. Their origin is debated, but no one can deny their presence in the Roman world.

THIS WEEK! We are once again joined by Adrian Murdoch. In 79 AD Vesuvius exploded, and destroyed Pompeii. But another town also perrished that faithful night. That was The Town of Herculaneum. And this week this small town is our topic. From the lone soldier, to city life. And what was it about this town that made it so fascinating?

When the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried by ash spewed out of Vesuvius in AD 79, so too were their inhabitants, frozen in the moment of their deaths. In the final episode of our four-part series, Kev Lochun is joined by historian Dr Jess Venner to discuss the myriad legacies of Pompeii. They explore the dangers of imprinting stories on mortal remains, the Pompeiian propensity for erotic art – and why, centuries on, Pompeii still echoes through the ages. ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the story of Pompeii?

The Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum were wiped off the map within 24 hours of Vesuvius erupting, buried under volcanic debris that would entomb them for centuries. In this second episode of our four-part series, Kev Lochun is joined by historian Dr Jess Venner to explore the cataclysm with the help of the experiences of two men: Roman statesman Pliny the Elder, who sailed into danger never to return, and his nephew Pliny the Younger, whose letters provide the only known eyewitness account of the disaster.   ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the story of Pompeii?

Most people think everyone died when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. Pompeii and Herculaneum froze in time — but the story didn't stop there. In this What's New in History, we talk to Garry Stevens about the fascinating new perspective on the AD 79 eruption: archaeologists aren't just finding victims — they're finding evidence of Romans who survived and rebuilt their lives elsewhere. From Pliny's eyewitness account to the trail of empty shrines and missing household gods, we rethink one of ancient history's most dramatic disasters — with a side order of garum.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL RIGHT NOW!! https://www.youtube.com/@WhatsNewinHistoryLinkshttps://www.livescience.com/archaeology/romans/its-really-an-extraordinary-story-historian-steven-tuck-says-of-the-romans-he-tracked-who-survived-the-ad-79-eruption-of-mount-vesuviushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY_3ggKg0Bchttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1_Jl93aN4tizHWWM3bx31_2MX-T6h7RJU/view?usp=sharingThis is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.Please subscribe to our YouTube channel!!www.youtube.com/@WhatsNewinHistoryIf you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information:E-mail: zimwaupodcast@gmail.comhttp://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.Used here under a commercial Creative Commons license.

What is an archeologist's wet dream? Our guess would be two pre-christian Roman Empire cities preserved almost perfectly under pumice and ash. Something that could be excavated and studied for a lifetime. Each little detail laying out the historical record of what everyday life in a Roman port city/vacation town would look like. Thanks to Mount Vesuvius erupting in 79 CE, that wet dream is a reality. Lava was not involved in the eruption of Vesuvius. It spewed ash and pumice that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. For those unfortunate souls who could not leave, the pyroclastic flows took them in an instant. Today we are going to talk about what happened on that day. The panic, the terror, the normality of the day Vesuvius erupted. Then we get to talk about what the excavation at the two sites has uncovered. Spoiler alert: this episode is a lot of fun.

In AD 79, Pompeii and Herculaneum were subsumed by the eruption of Vesuvius, buried and preserved under metres of volcanic ash. Today, they are among the most famous ruins of the ancient world – and in this four-part Sunday Series, we'll be exploring their secrets. In this first episode, historian Dr Jess Venner guides Kev Lochun through daily life in Pompeii and Herculaneum. They explore the myths surrounding the ‘mountain', why pomegranates mean we can't precisely date the disaster and how – implausible as it may seem today – the residents of these Roman cities had no idea they were living in the shadow of death.  ––––– GO BEYOND THE PODCAST Want to know more about the story of Pompeii?

2014's Pompeii is all over the place. Designed to be a Roman apocalypse story with a star making turn by Game of Thrones' Kit Harrington, Pompeii fizzled at the box office. But strangely, it's a phenomenal film to talk about the Roman empire and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Historian and archaeologist Dr. Steven Tuck joins in to talk everything this film gets right and wrong about Roman history. Easily one of our best episodes ever.About our guest:Steven L. Tuck is a professor of classics, who is currently head of classics at Miami University. He teaches many classics courses at Miami University, especially those relating to the arts.He received a Ph.D. in Classical Art and Archaeology from University of Michigan in 1997, and he is the author of the textbook A History of Roman Art. In addition to his teaching, he has lectured the general public at Classics at the University of Colorado Boulder, Yale University, the University of Puget Sound, Baylor University and for the Getty Villa. He has also appeared in the media discussing classics, including in a 2019 feature for Atlas Obscura on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. and its impact on refugees and migration in the ancient world. For the Vergilian Society, he managed the Villa Vergiliana in Cumae, and organized educational programs there. He is also the author of the brand new book Escape from Pompeii: The Great Eruption of Mount Vesuvius and Its Survivors.

Hello!On this classic episode from the archives of The Delicious Legacy I decided to include some ten minute of extra content from my interview with Farrell and I have remastered the audio as it was a bit dodgy the last time round. Hope it's more pleasant and easier to listen now!I'm very excited about this episode! Farrell Monaco is a culinary & experimental archaeologist, and bread-baking addict! Especially of the ancient Greco-Roman variety...So what better person to chat about the ancient cuisine? And it's a very thought-provoking and thoughtful.

No permission slip required.In this Volcano Minisode, Laura and Katy dive into the dramatic, deadly, and never-quite-dormant history of Mount Vesuvius, one of the most iconic volcanoes on Earth. From burying Pompeii in ash and pyroclastic waves to raining debris across the Mediterranean during WWII, Vesuvius has earned its title as the angriest volcano in history.

News items read by Laura Kennedy include: Philodemus' lost work identified in the charred Herculaneum papyri (details) From Britain to the Mediterranean: tracing Bronze Age tin trade across civilizations (details)(details) wo swastika-engraved swords discovered in an ancient Celtic necropolis in France (details) Uncovering ancient ritual drug use at pre-Inca site in Peru (details)

This week on The Progress Report, Emma and Zachary dive into the mysterious world of ancient Herculaneum scrolls—charred by Vesuvius, now decoded by AI and particle accelerators. Maryland smashes its conservation goals, becoming the first U.S. state to hit “30 by 30.” And, are we really past peak alcohol consumption? We unpack what it means for the world (and Zachary's distillery).

This week Wes, Andy and Ben are on the road filming new episodes of the "Can I Trust the Bible?" series. While traveling they had the opportunity to visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Join the guys on their road trip podcast as they discuss the importance and challenges of uncovering history and its apologetic implications.

Science correspondent Hannah Devlin joins Ian Sample to discuss three intriguing science stories from the week, from a global study that puts the UK third from bottom when it comes to flourishing, to a man who intentionally suffered more than 200 snake bites in the quest to find a universal antivenom and a breakthrough in the quest to understand the contents of the charred Herculaneum scrolls buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted.

The city was one of the central and defining features of the world of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean. Challenging the idea that the ancient city 'declined and fell', Andrew Wallace-Hadrill argues that memories of the past enabled cities to adapt and remain relevant in the changing post-Roman world.

Under the orders of King Charles III - who wanted marble and classical art for his palace at Portici - Spanish military engineer Roque Joaquín de Alcubierre excavated some Campanian ruins on 1st April, 1748 - and discovered the long-lost city of Pompeii. Buried beneath volcanic ash and debris since Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79, much of the city was remarkably preserved; including breathtaking buildings that portrayed the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the city's wealthy elite. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the site has since inspired all archaeological digs; ask why Pompeii in particular has generated such huge human interest; and reveal the truth about ‘Wanking Man'...

WHEN EMPIRES FALL DOWN THEN AND NOW: 5/8: After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations by  Eric H. Cline  (Author) https://www.amazon.ca/After-1177-B-C-Survival-Civilizations/dp/0691192138 At the end of the acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration. 1908 HERCULANEUM

What a time to be alive. New Euripides just dropped! Results are pouring in not only from the AI project that's unearthing new passages from the charred scrolls of Herculaneum, but also from the good old-fashioned method of leafing through mounds of old scrolls. Some of it is directly related to everything we've been talking about in Homer and the mythic cycle. It's the only Young Heretics news that's fit to break.

In 79 AD, in the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, twenty meters of hot mud and ash buried an enormous villa once owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. Inside, there was a vast library of papyrus scrolls. The scrolls were carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris, but they were trapped underground where The post The Vesuvius Challenge with Juli Schilliger and Youssef Nader appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss James Carville's critique of Democratic culture, the feminization of the left, the origins and meaning of American Exceptionalism, teaching the Gospel in ancient Greek, and the Herculaneum papyrus scrolls.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the mid-18th century, excavations in the ancient town of Herculaneum, just outside the city of Pompeii and destroyed by the same volcano, discovered something….interesting.  They found a villa that contained 1800 ancient scrolls. Unfortunately, the volcano's heat carbonized them, making them illegible and incredibly fragile. Still, for over 250 years, scholars have hoped that techniques would eventually be developed to allow these scrolls to be read.  That day may have finally arrived.  Learn more about the Herculaneum Papyri and the attempts to read and preserve their ancient knowledge on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
